Question

Here is a frequency distribution showing the number of Canadian tax fillers and dependants 15 years of age and over with labour income by age for the years 2014 to 2016. Tax filers and dependants from 15 years to 64 years of age labour income by age Age groups 15 to 19 years 20 to 24 years 25 to 29 years 30 to 34 years 35 to 39 years 40 to 44 years 45 to 49 years 50 to 54 years 55 to 59 years 60 to 64 years 2016 847,620 1,834,850 1,822,620 1,816,190 1,939,0501,966,420 2,001,990 1,993,270 2,007,440 2,026,650 1,936,7801,961,610 1,992,320 1,938,3201,927,4701,925,390 1,997,410 1,967,3901,955,430 2,198,6102,167,490 2,114,970 1,923,2401,960,5101,981,740 1,374,130 1,426,440 1,469,640 2014 2015 870,900 855,890 Source: Statistics Canada, c) Construct the ogive associated to the year 2016. Do not forget to give a meaningful title to your graph and label the axes properly.

Answer 1

Ogives are also known as Cumulative frequency curves.These are of two types

1)Less than type (constructed on the basis of Less than type cumulative Frequencies): These types of ogives are constructed by plotting the upper limit along X-Axis and the cumulative Frequencies(less than type) along Y-Axis.

2)Greater than type(constructed on the basis of Greater than type cumulative Frequencies):These types of ogives are constructed by plotting the Lower limit along X-Axis and the cumulative Frequencies(Greater than type) along Y-Axis.

the steps are shown above
